PEANUT BUTTER FALCON
Zak (Zack Gottsagen), a young man with Down Syndrome, runs away from his care home to pursue his dream of being a pro-wrestler.
On the way, while being pursued by Eleanor (Dakota Johnson) a care giver, he meets a new friend in Tyler (Shia LeBouf).
It is an interesting story. It is a travel film for sure. Often sweet, and sometimes sad. Well acted by all involved highlighted by maybe an Oscar Nomination worthy performance by LeBouf.
I really liked this film, it was so different and sweet but the ending of the film...the story became a bit loose...or nutty. It is like the screenwriters and directors Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz had an idea, and it was a good idea, but they had no idea how to finish it, and it did not work. It makes you leave the theatre and go...aaaahhh okay.
3 stars out of 5 for Peanut Butter Falcon. Beautifully acted, beautiful to look at, however it crashed and burned at the end.
